Code of Conduct

We are constantly searching for new ways to enhance our business and to find new solutions for our customers. The one consistent theme, however, is our commitment to Doing It Right® for our customers, our fellow employees, our third-party business partners, our stockholders, and our communities. That means acting with integrity and honesty every day and making sure that our business decisions demonstrate these values, too. The AAR Code of Conduct provides guidance to help us make good decisions and act with integrity, even in situations where the right course of action might not always be clear or easy.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Corporate integrity, responsible product sourcing, and the safety and wellbeing of workers across the global supply chain are of paramount importance to AAR and align with our Doing It Right® values. Through AAR’s Supplier Code of Conduct, these principles apply to all aspects of AAR’s business, and apply to all distributors, manufacturers, vendors, consultants, contractors, and other suppliers and third parties that engage in business transactions with AAR.

Global Anti-Corruption Policy

AAR has zero tolerance for bribery or corruption. The Global Anti-Corruption policy sets the expectations and requirements for complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act 2010, and any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, rules or regulations of countries in which AAR conducts business (together “Anti-Corruption Laws”).

Speaking Up and Non-Retaliation Policy

Our Speaking Up and Non-Retaliation Policy ensures that employees feel comfortable speaking up when they see or suspect illegal or unethical conduct without fear of retaliation and defines the process for assessing and investigating allegations of misconduct.
